The IESG has approved following document:
- 'KDC Server Address Sub-option '
<draft-ietf-dhc-suboptions-kdc-serveraddress-04.txt> as a Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Dynamic Host Configuration Working
Group.
The IESG contact persons are Margaret Wasserman and Thomas Narten.
Technical Summary
This document describes a sub-option of the "DHCP Option for CableLabs
Client Configuration", RFC 3495. A certain class of CableHome devices
require the configuration of a "Key Distribution Center" server as an IP
address rather than as a domain name. The new sub-option provides KDC
configuration as an IPv4 address.
Working Group Summary
The -04 revision of the draft addresses comments received during the WG last
call. Note that there were few responses to the WG last call; all of these
response supported acceptance of the doc and a couple of responses suggested
edits. The important changes in the -04 rev are additional text in the
Security Considerations section and a new reference to the CableHome 1.1
specification.
Protocol Quality
This document has been reviewed for the IESG by Margaret Wasserman.
RFC Editor Note
Please change the title of the document as follows:
OLD:
KDC Server Address Sub-option
NEW:
KDC Server Address Sub-option for the DHCP
CableLabs Client Configuration (CCC) Option
Please change the following section, in order to define the
acronym "PS" in Section 1:
OLD:
A CCC DHCP Option code providing the KDC server address will be
needed for CableHome-compliant residential gateways configured to
use Kerberos for authentication as the first step in establishing
a secure SNMPv3 link between the PS and the SNMP entity in the
cable operator's data network.
NEW:
A CCC DHCP Option code providing the KDC server address will be
needed for CableHome-compliant residential gateways configured to
use Kerberos for authentication as the first step in establishing
a secure SNMPv3 link between the Portal Services logical element
[1, 2] in the residential gateways, and the SNMP entity in the
cable operator's data network.
Also please change the word "insure" to "ensure" in Section 3:
OLD
It is assumed that all service providers permitted onto
an access providers network are trusted entities that will cooperate
to insure peaceful coexistence.
NEW
It is assumed that all service providers permitted onto
an access providers network are trusted entities that will cooperate
to ensure peaceful coexistence.
Thank you!
